Music Helps Me

@lioness I put saucers of cooking oil out where the earwigs hang out, but my dog finds them and lick up the oil, so I made screen covers. Doesn't that sound tantalizing? Yuk

One of the greatest guitar virtuosos of all time, Tommy Emmanuel gives 300 concerts a year, all around the world. In this video, he talks about how he developed his unique style, and the source of his inspiration as a young boy just learning guitar – he is completely self-taught. He demonstrates many of his inventive new techniques to coax completely new sounds from his guitar. He also comments about the universal appeal of music and how it can help to heal and soothe people with serious illnesses. It is well worth the time to watch, both to see and hear his amazing playing, and to hear him talk about how blessed he is to be able to make his living doing what he loves most.

@johnbishop How amazing is that?! Stunned.

‘Music for Hope’ - a message of love, healing and hope to Italy and the rest of the world during this difficult time, the pieces included the popular Bach/Gounod setting of ‘Ave Maria’ and Mascagni’s ‘Sancta Maria’, as well as an arrangement of John Newton’s enduring ‘Amazing Grace'.

I've been wondering how you're feeling. Are you enjoying the solitude? For the most part I am. I miss church and restaurants, but otherwise I'm used to being home.

Have a good weekend

Thank you, very nice.

I just heard this Youtube video. It's a song dedicated to social distancing. I think you will all enjoy it!

I've always thought that the song, Stand By Me, was great (both the words and the music). If you all agree, then you will enjoy this rendition,

@hopeful33250 It is interesting what musicians are doing. I enjoy listening to music and only listening as the visuals are too overwhelming for me. Thankful I can minimize. This is delightful!!!
